Playing Position: Left Wing, Central Midfield or Striker.
Favourite Team: Manchester United

I love the feeling when I score a goal, I love the feeling when I set up a goal, how many of you can relate to this, if you can, please tell me about it, I really want to know.

Well football used to have a big part of my life when I was younger. The earliest experiences of playing football was before I even went to school. I was about 5 years old, playing football on a field where cows had eaten the grass shorter. For goals there was just two posts and the lines were imaginary. I remember of being a goalkeeper, playing against 18 year old boys when one of them hit a ball quite hard I did save the ball but it was direct hit to my stomach and it hurt. Still it didn't keep me away of playing. From the first class I started going to football trainings, and I was under FC Flora. So I played and played once played against two Lithuanian teams. Both times we lost. To the better Lithuanians we lost 0-6 to the lousier ones we lost 0-2.
Then I got my first computer and started to go to practice less frequent. After couple of years of not playing (excluding the times we played it at P.E and "Snickers cup" tournaments where I usually were in defence I didn't play soccer anymore. I started to play football again when I was in 10th grade. I did it like 1 year or so and after that I haven't played football at all. I do still watch it.

Playing Position: Left Midfield
favorite Team: the one I am on usually
Player that I look to as role model: none.

But I do still like to play games that develops skills that you need in football. For example game we call "Vibra" what is kinda similar to "four squares". Also what we call "Küünal" don't know what is it's similarity in other countries.

Sounds like you were really into football when you were small, thanks for sharing Jubin.

I've been playing football for 7 years, but I just quit, cause I didn't bother going to the practicing and it got boring cause a lot of people went to more ''famous'' teams. So it has been a big part of my life.

Playing Position: Anywhere in the midfield, or forward.
favorite Team: Real Madrid.
Player that I look to as role model: Ronaldo. (The brazilian one.)

Now in the summer I play football alot with my friends, I like it more when I don't have any pressure on me.

well that's what you get if you grow up with relatives who now play club football in professional level and also have been in U-18 national team.

I used to play at breaks in school 4 years ago, i'm pretty good and my mum keeps telling me to play for my local team, but i generally hate the people assosiated with soccer/football, so i don't play on a weekend.

My football past is a lot of fun. Yes I dont play it anymore due to lack of time but I was a big guy for my age in school too. But I wasnt talented to actually pass the ball properly. This posed a problem to my team but they saw the better side of things - they made me a defender cuz I cud take hits and pain. been hit all over my body(no body parts excluded) and because i had a powerful kick I wud kick the ball out of the ground(cuz ofc i had no aim haha) if need be and thats all my teammates wanted. When I was the lone guy between the goalkeeper and the opposing team striker my team mates wud yell "ARJUN!!!" and there I wud be waiting to take the force of his kick in my groin  :hit:

Reminds me of one of my class mates who left a couple of months ago, they used to call him the bear, cause when he was in goal or defending, he just went for the ball, and kicked it anywhere, took hits all the time.

I played soccer for as long as I can remember, but I quit a while ago. I was a Striker but almost just as I had turned 16, I blew out my knee and wouldn't play for my team for quite a while. I focused on my studies as my knee was to get better, but when it did heal up, I just never went back. I just wasen't as good as I used to be, and remained focused on my studies, and I do not regret that. I still play amongst my friends on the weekends, but not as serious as it used to be. My favourite team is Chealsea, I was pissed when they lost the spot for the titel against Barcelone.. Pissed as hell.
You wanted to know if we felt the same as you when scored a goal. I can tell you, I did. I loved it.
